Starmer biography
According to the Evening Standard of 5 August 2021:
Sir Keir Starmer is in the sights of the Left of his party again — a new biography of the Labour leader is being written by Oliver Eagleton, a Novara Media contributor.
“He’s both given up on the principles and on the competence and has proved himself not a slick, effective, lawyerly operator but rather deeply dithering and indecisive and uncharismatic,” Eagleton claims to us.
"The Starmer Project" was sparked by a blog Eagleton wrote in January examining Keir Starmer’s record as Director of Public Prosecutions and is out next May. Eagleton — son of literary critic Terry Eagleton — adds: “It is important to be constructive and clear-eyed. I hope that the tone of the book isn’t just polemical.”[2]
